    How Do You Calculate Work Done by an Expanding Gas?

    A fas is in a cylinder is at pressure of 6000 Pa and a piston has an area of .1m^2. As heat is slowly added the piston is pushed up a distance of 5cm. Calculate the work done on the surroundings by the expanding gas. (Assume pressure stays constant). Thus far i found the force using...

    What Is the Carnot Efficiency Formula for Engine Calculations?

    Is there a formula used to solve engine problems? For example a carnot engine is operated between two heat reservoirs at temperatures of 500K and 300K. If the engine receives 200 cal from the reservoir at 500K in each cycle. How many calories does it reject to the reservior at 300K? This...
